Life, inspired: Wall Art: The Final Piece in the Puzzle
Need more inspiration?Placement of art in a space can be just as important as the piece itself, so give consideration to the size and use of the space where it is to be admired.
The placement of your artwork can have an impact on the space surrounding it. One large dramatic artwork can have a strong focal impact, however a collection of smaller artworks, themed by size, colour, texture or composition can also create a lasting impression.
When grouping artwork, be sure to keep the frame surrounds consistent in colour and texture to create a modern look; or for a more vintage, eclectic style, choose frames or different shapes, sizes and colours, but space each piece evenly on the wall. Usually 10-15 centimetres between the frames, is an ideal spacing to prevent the collection from looking cluttered.
Put your treasured and bold pieces on display in main living areas, kitchen and even bathrooms for all to admire. Or for a more personal piece, hang it in a bedroom to be enjoyed in the serenity of a calming space.
A pop of colour in a monotone room will draw the eye immediately to your artwork, so make it big and bold if the space allows. Or to lessen the impact, select a single colour or tone from your art piece and co-ordinate soft furnishings, ornaments and floor coverings – too many colours can be chaotic.
Unless you’re creating a gallery, don’t clutter the space by hanging too much artwork. In smaller rooms, keep large artworks to one wall; in larger rooms add interest to the adjacent wall or a corner by grouping 2-3 smaller pieces that are of similar shape and size to each other.
